What speed must an electron have if its momentum is to be the same as that of an x-ray photon with a wavelength of 0.30?

1 answer:

8 0

The momentum of the x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34 m2 kg / s).The momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).

The momentum can be calculated also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.

So v=p/m,p is known,and also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms).

v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356 × 10-31 kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

$I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A$

so the current is halved.
